New Route

After taping up my toe (for blister prevention!) I headed out for a 5 mile run. It was great. I was all about positive affirmations today. Anytime I felt like quitting I would talk myself out of it. And guess what?! It worked! I rocked those 5 miles! Then I cooled down with .59 miles til I got home. The splits:

Mile 1:

10:45

Mile 2:

10:28

Mile 3:

9:59

Mile 4:

10:33

Mile 5:

9:49

0.59

10:43

I ran a new route today.

It was fun because it made the time fly (even with some hilly areas!) but when I got back to the part of my usual route it wasn’t quite as far as I had hoped it would be. With about a mile left I saw that there were a TON of runners on the road ahead of me. They were far enough away that I didn’t think it would be possible to catch up with them. But I used them as a target and after a little while I passed a few of them! Sure if there had been runners behind me they might have passed me…but that’s neither here nor there!
